We recommend splitting the Dr. Goldstein
Nice cocktails; know for their burger (with bacon pinwheels). Down the street from Alex's old apartment.
Known for their selection of craft beers. (Pinball in the back.)
Beautiful park right on the water. Walk far enough and you'll reach Jane's Carousel under the Manhattan Bridge.
Eric's favorite permanent exhibit is "The Dinner Party."
Really great museum about New York's subways (and great for kids).
